UNARMED WOMAN: “Shame on you.” ICE GOON: “Have you not learned from the past few days?” UNARMED WOMAN: “Learned what? What’s our lesson?” ICE GOON: *VIOLENTLY SNATCHES HER PHONE* (H/T @Mollyploofkins)

As of Jan 8th, 100% of murders in Minneapolis in 2026 have been committed by ICE agents. #JusticeForRene #AbolishICE

“To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here. Your stated reason for being in this city is to create some kind of safety, and you are doing exactly the opposite.” — Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey More local leaders need to be saying this out loud. #FuckICE

In 2004, my mom wrote about what war costs—not just for those who fight, but for those who wait, worry, and live with the aftermath. Twenty years later, I’m sharing her words again, along with my reflections as a veteran, son, and father. tcspress.com/2025/11/11/t...

We’re open for #essay #submissions again. Political, philosophical, personal, somewhere in between. We like writing that says something real, makes people feel something, cuts through noise, challenges power, feels lived-in. If it’s honest, sharp, and human, we'd love to read it. tcspress.com/write/

History and data agree: when roughly 3.5 % of people engage in sustained, peaceful action, real change becomes possible. "Critical Mass 3Point5" is built on that idea, nonviolence as realistic strategy, not wishful thinking. Explore the project: criticalmass35.org #Democracy #Trump #Protest #NoKings

Hoping to see strong, peaceful crowds at tomorrow’s #NoKings marches. Show up, stay grounded, look out for each other. criticalmass35.org/2025/10/17/n...

Let’s play a fun little game called “Imagine the Outrage.” An Islamic Middle Eastern country gifts a private luxury jet to the sitting President of the United States. Only it’s 2013, and that president’s name is Barack Hussein Obama. Just imagine… Isn’t that fun? #Trump #Qatar #Obama #AirForce1

“No innocent Trump supporter should be blindsided by weaponized sea imagery. Some of us are still in therapy from when that AP journalist called it the ‘Gulf of Mexico’—after President Trump clearly renamed it the ‘Gulf of America.’” #8647 #Satire

Not many people know this, but the song 8675309 is actually threatening people who live in the zip code 75309

Truly presidential stuff. Just a grown man lashing out at Bruce Springsteen’s skin because he said something mean abroad. Exactly the kind of calm, balanced leadership you'd expect from the commander of 6,000 nuclear warheads. #StableGenius #Trump #Springsteen

Nothing says “strong leadership” and "selfless service" like a guy with 5 draft deferments turning the Army’s 250th birthday into a $92 million tribute to himself—because it just so happens to fall on his birthday, and he thinks tanks are cool

Adam Kinzinger: proof that not all Republicans are spineless MAGA sycophants. Too bad he's not in Congress anymore—we could use more voices like his instead of a caucus full of guys with Stockholm syndrome and a longstanding aversion to integrity.

"If that kind of “justice” (grab now, ask never) is your thing, maybe check out some real estate in Moscow. Or Pyongyang. I hear it’s lovely this time of year."

Anti-Authoritarian poetry project open for submissions till May 18th

Donald Trump says he’s “not joking” about a third term. Maybe he’s trolling. Maybe not. But history has a habit of punishing nations that wait too long to take threats seriously. #trumpthirdterm #2028elections #authoritarianism thechaossection.com/2025/05/01/t...

The mirror holds, but the room hums with pressure. We call it peace— this hush before glass remembers how to shatter. To name a danger distant is to risk believing it can’t arrive. #Poems of #Dissent Submit here: thechaossectionpoetryproject.com/submissions/

Less than 100 days into his second term, Trump’s approval is underwater — even in a Fox News poll. Maybe authoritarian vibes and economic freefall aren’t exactly a winning combo after all? #Trump #AuthoritarianWatch

The real danger isn’t that Trump wants a third term. It’s that enough people might shrug and say, “Why not?” Norms break first. Laws follow. What "could never happen here" already has in other places. #Trump #ThirdTerm #AuthoritarianWatch

When the law serves power, not justice, and silence feels safer than truth, we're not in a democracy—we're in denial. #Authoritarianism #Resist

Every authoritarian movement relies on two things: fear and distraction. They want you too scared or too tired to notice the slow erosion of rights. Stay awake. Stay stubborn. #Resist #StayFree

Opposition to authoritarianism is essential to a free society.

What Would Jesus Tweet? This essay unpacks the furious, faithless screed Trump posted on Christianity’s holiest day—and asks why the loudest “Christian” voices are still so damn quiet about it. #Trump #Easter

Critics, not criminals. But that doesn’t matter anymore. Published April 17, 2025, Nick Allison’s latest essay unpacks how Trump’s new investigations into Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor are less about law—and more about loyalty. This isn’t oversight. It’s retribution. #DissentIsNotTreason

Published March 28, 2025, Nick Allison’s newest essay traces the slow erosion of democracy—not with tanks, but with executive orders, billionaire appointees, and state-mandated morality. A must-read for anyone still paying attention. Read it at The Chaos Section. #Anti #Authoritarianism

Published December 26, 2024, Adam Hinds reviews Imminent by Luis Elizondo—a personal, military, and metaphysical journey through the world of UAP disclosure. A respectful look at what we know, what’s still redacted, and why it all matters.

Published November 19, 2024, Cynthia Tarana’s @radical-feminist.bsky.social raw, unflinching post-election essay blends rage, heartbreak, and resolve. From racial justice to reproductive rights, she’s not pulling punches—and she’s not done fighting. thechaossection.com/2024/11/19/t...

You don’t have to agree with someone to understand why they voted the way they did. Published November 7, 2024, Nick Allison urges us to resist easy labels and listen to what Trump voters are really saying—before we lose any chance of winning them back.

Civil discourse didn’t die all at once—it bled out while we were arguing online. Published November 5, 2024, Nick Allison’s essay is part eulogy, part gut-check. It asks whether we can still talk to each other without tearing each other apart—and whether we even want to try.

Published August 29, 2024, Great Dudes of History: Rabbi Rami honors Rabbi Rami Shapiro’s open-hearted, interfaith path to spiritual chill. Adam Hinds makes the case for why this wise, funny, deeply human rabbi belongs on the Mount Rushmore of Dudeism. thechaossection.com/2024/08/29/g...

Published August 26, 2024, Adam Hinds takes on the economic, cultural, and existential pressures behind declining birth rates—and why choosing not to be a parent might be the most rational decision of all. Read it at The Chaos Section. thechaossection.com/2024/08/26/n...

In this sharp piece by Adam G. House, Pat Robertson and Donald Trump are framed not as separate stories—but as cause and consequence of the same dangerous movement. Read it at The Chaos Section. #ChristianNationalism #TrumpIndictment #PatRobertson thechaossection.com/2023/06/08/p...

Who planned the coup—and how deep does the rot go? In The Breach, Denver Riggleman peels back the layers of the Jan 6th plot using data, testimony, and personal reckoning. Adam House reviews it with the clarity of someone who’s seen cult thinking from the inside. #TheBreach #January6thInvestigation

Christian Nationalism helped fuel January 6—and it's not going away quietly. Adam G. House breaks it all down: the theology, the history, the violence, and why it still matters. Read the full deep-dive at The Chaos Section. #ChristianNationalism #January6th #DefendDemocracy
